South City FC Fall To Roysambo Sharks In Narrow 2-0 Defeat

South City FC hosted Roysambo Sharks at Kitengela on 14 September 2025, with kick-off at 12:30pm in a tightly contested 11-a-side encounter. Despite their efforts, South City FC were unable to break down the visitors’ defence and ultimately succumbed to a 2-0 loss after 90 minutes plus added time.

South City FC lined up in a 4-2-1-3 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking flair. The back four consisted of two full-backs tasked with both defensive duties and supporting wide attacks, while the two central defenders focused on maintaining a strong defensive line. Ahead of them, the double pivot midfielders were expected to shield the defence and distribute the ball efficiently. The lone attacking midfielder was positioned centrally to link play between midfield and the front three, who were deployed across the left, centre, and right attacking channels to stretch the opposition’s defence and create scoring opportunities.

Unfortunately, no details of the starting eleven or substitutes were provided, so the focus remains on the tactical setup and match events as they unfolded.

The first half saw a cautious approach from both sides, with neither team able to find a breakthrough before the interval. The match reached half-time with the scoreline still goalless, reflecting a balanced contest in the opening 45 minutes.

In the second half, Roysambo Sharks managed to assert themselves more effectively. Their first goal came as they capitalised on a defensive lapse from South City FC, breaking the deadlock and putting the visitors ahead. South City FC pushed forward in search of an equaliser but left gaps at the back, which Roysambo Sharks exploited to double their advantage.

Despite South City FC’s efforts to respond, the visitors’ defence held firm, and the match concluded with Roysambo Sharks securing a 2-0 victory. The narrow scoreline belied the intensity and commitment shown by South City FC, who will look to regroup and build on this performance in their upcoming fixtures.
